Mary Noll, 80, passed away October 27, 2026 at Hospice House in Hutchinson, KS. She was born in Hutchinson on January 5, 1946 to John L. and Irene (Kroeker) Goertzen. Mary graduated from Inman High School with the class of 1964 and attended Salt City Business College in Hutchinson where she met her closest friends.
Mary was a devoted wife, sharing 59 years of marriage with her beloved husband, Arthur “Art” Noll, Jr. They were united in marriage on February 18, 1967 in Inman, KS. They were blessed and surprised with two beautiful “red-headed” daughters, Cynthia and Susan. The family attended Bethel Mennonite Church, Inman.
After business school, she worked as an administrative assistant with Skyline Mobile Homes in Halstead and for Kelly Milling in Hutchinson. Lastly, she worked as a legal secretary in Hutchinson before becoming a homemaker and mother.
Mary’s greatest joy was her family, whom she loved more than anything in the world. She was a caring and loving person who was always willing to help whenever she was needed. She was especially proud of her grandchildren, rarely missing any of their activities.
Raised a Goertzen, Mary was a hardworking woman who devoted herself to caring for her family and maintaining an immaculate home, both inside and out. Like her mother, she was an excellent cook and baker. Her grandchildren fondly remember riding the school bus home to her house to find a sweet treat waiting for them and Grandma always ready for whatever fun they had planned.
Mary’s signature Christmas meal was a favorite family tradition that everyone looked forward to each year. A few things she enjoyed was watching her favorite talk shows and soap operas and getting together with her Salt City Business College friends.
Mary is preceded in death by her parents; son-in-law, Allen Bledsoe; great granddaughter, Mary Suzanne Kovacs; sisters-in-law, Rosie Goertzen and Marjorie Goertzen.
She is survived by her husband, Art, Inman; daughters, Cynthia (Cary) DeMoss, Hutchinson and Susan Noll, Buhler; grandchildren, Lily (Sloan) Kovacs, Connor DeMoss, Michael Bledsoe, and Dawson McConnell; and a precious great-grandbaby on the way; brothers, Johnny (Mary Jane) Goertzen, Inman, Wayne Goertzen, Buhler, Harlen (Luann) Goertzen, Ohio and Melvin Goertzen, Inman.
